Paste (Edit control bar or Ctrl+V)
Or right click and choose PASTE.
Paste the clipboard contents into the selected document. The wording of this option
reflects the contents of the clipboard (refer to Object Handling (on page 104)).
Som
etimes, when you paste the contents of the clipboard into a document, it could be
inserted using several different formats. If this is the case the
PASTE SPECIAL dialog
box will appear so you can choose a format.
Paste unformatted text
Pastes any text on the clipboard into your document without any formatting.
Paste in place
The same as PASTE, except your object will be pasted in the exact same position from
which you copied it. This is useful for moving objects from one layer or page to
another, without changing its X/Y position. However note that if the copied object is a
‘footer’ (that is, it always stays the same distance from the bottom of the page, when
the page is resized) when pasted in place it will be positioned relative to the bottom of
the page. This is normally what you want from footer objects.
Paste format/attributes
Preserves the format (e.g., font and font size) or style attributes (e.g., line and fill
color) of the pasted object.
Paste position
This option applies the position of a copied object on the clipboard to a currently
selected object, which moves to the exact same position as the copied object.
If multiple items have been copied to the clipboard, Page & Layout Designer treats
them as if they are a group and moves the currently selected object to the position of
the copied group as a whole.
The currently selected object is pasted or moved into the center position of the copied
object or group of objects.
Paste size
This option applies the size of a copied object on the clipboard to a currently selected
object, which resizes around its center to the exact size of the copied object.
If multiple items have been copied to the clipboard, Page & Layout Designer treats
them as if they are a group and resizes the currently selected object around its center
to the exact size of the copied group as a whole.
